I feel for Mr. Martin in that he lost his son but I have to say, someone else's name was dragged through the mud far worse and so far no one has spoken up for him. And for those of you intent on calling me a racist because I either am pro-Zimmerman or post threads relating to the case you are wrong. Just because I have an opinion contrary to yours and it isn't on the side you think it should be. You wont be able to find one derogatory racial thread made by me. Also, the issue is still relevant, it's not yesterday's news. If you think this hasn't caused more racial tension you live under a rock somewhere. Edited: Took out congressional, it looks stupid.
